TireRack is having a closeout sale on the Hankook V12 Evos. Keep in mind they are a "summer" tire though.

The A/S 3 is the best all season tire I've ever driven IMO. I just ordered a set for my 335...in 19".... :shifty
I am still on Bridgestone S04 on my zhp however just had installed a full set of Conti Extreme Contact DW that replaced the Conti DWS all seasons on the wife's zhp. Let's see what these tires are like.
i've heard the conti DW/DWS have really soft sidewalls.
michelin pilot super sport for me. hands down.

With the DWS they did have a soft-sidewall but those are the All-Season tires and the DW are strictly summer tires. Pilots are nice but were soo much more expensive that it is not worth it.
how much more?
personally, after driving on so many sets of tires - the PSS (clarifying here that we are both talking about the super sports) are worth the extra money, to me. i'm a frugal guy, but the PSS are worth it to me - aside from the performance, they are excellent in the rain, long-lasting and have a great warranty.

Pilot Super Sports are most definitely not long lasting. They are amazing in every single way except longevity. People seem to get like 15K out of them. Has anyone been able to double that, or get more than that? Please chime in!Quote:

i ran my last set on my A4 for roughly 16K miles and they were still at 7/32"... (10/32" is what they are new). they have a 30K mile treadwear warranty.
lots of folks complain about tire wear, but also have no idea about the state of their alignment, bushings, tire pressure, etc!
